The big news in Riderville is the signing of Moose Jaw-born offensive tackle Joe McGrath, most recently of the Edmonton Eskimos. Several teams were interested in McGrath, who gives Saskatchewan another strong Canadian offensive lineman.
Wayne Smith can also play offensive tackle. Does McGrath or Smith move inside to guard so that recently re-signed import Belton Johnson can play tackle? Johnson is strictly a tackle. It looks like he will be the only import on the offensive line.
Glenn January, who started several games at tackle with Saskatchewan last season, has signed a six-figure deal with Winnipeg.
Non-import linebacker Aaron Wagner was acquired by the Roughriders, who sent an undisclosed draft pick to the Toronto Argonauts.
And it appears that homebrew safety Scott Gordon, who was not in the Riders' plans for 2009, has signed with Edmonton. Eskimos head coach Richie Hall was the Riders' defensive co-ordinator last season. I think I've written that before.
